Natalia R. is a committed Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counselor at August Rose Health Center. Natalia is from Baltimore City and brings a strong foundation in juvenile justice, behavioral support, and community outreach to her work. She is currently obtaining her Associate of Applied Science in Juvenile Justice, deepening her understanding of the challenges individuals face long before entering the mental health system. Her background shapes her approach with empathy, patience, and real‑world insight.

Natalia is passionate about supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions especially young adults transitioning into adulthood and those who need a little extra support with strengthening daily routines, coping skills, community connections, and independent living skills. Natalia loves giving back to the communities that raised her, offering guidance that feels relatable, grounded, and culturally aware.

Natalia is inspired by seeing clients recognize their own potential. She believes in meeting people exactly where they are, honoring their lived experiences, and celebrating progress in all forms because what you go through doesn’t define you. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through small, steady steps especially when you have a supportive village surrounding you. She carries the reminder that “sometimes in life we just need someone who will be there for us. Someone who will listen. Someone who will understand” guiding how she shows up for every client every day.
